Last gasp for AR2665 on July 17

Post by gabrieli »

Despite the "pull your hair out" cloudy conditions, I took a dozen files and the 2 images shown were the best products.
These were taken at 4000 mm through an AR152 with Baader solar film in front.

Hi Lou,

These images are great for a 6" aperture. But I believe you missed a great opportunity to use your larger instrument and try to image this great sun spot at the limb. I always wait for such an opportunities - to image large spots at the limb in a 3-D appearance in H-a line.

Always surprises me how sedate the sun looks in white light.
Great shots Lou,
Best wishes,
